Well, the short answer is, I don't know. However for stripping down an
image, all that smallish methods add up (I like that backpack argument),
especially if the've long, non-polymorphic names.
I agree that we shouldn't forget the comfort of using conversion methods.
Perhaps this would be a compromise
String >> encodeForHTTP
^ HTMLformatter encodeForHTTP: self
This way, one could remove most of the implementation (risking only a
dangling reference to class HTMLformatter) and still keep the ease of use.
